Also, Amazon's shipping policy is the work of the devil. I always wind up spending more than I meant to just to hit the free shipping mark.

The mystery of the Northstar contrails explained: I asked Clay Mann directly about this today at NYCC. He explained that when he designed the costumes for Age of X, he took elements from other things - and for Northstar it was Tron. The red streaks are the persistent trails left behind just like the light cycles. Mystery solved!

Then he mentioned there was a gaggle of 10 cosplayers all in Age Of X costumes who had stopped by his booth and there was an Age of X Northstar with neon lights attached to his wrists. I didn't see it but boy I bet that looked great!

EDIT: I found the gaggle. Here's a blog post showing all the players and here's Age of X Northstar:

Awesome! I didn't see the guy personally but wow that's pretty neato.
